Their thirst for
power, their demand for obedience, their arrogance and their disregard
of the people they would govern surfaced over time. Their re-election became more important than their duty to the people. Their arrogance superseded their public persona, and they allow themselves to be manipulated by interests harmful to us in return for a few bucks.... think of the "when rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it" philosophy.

I BELIEVED my brother-in-law when he came up with that "Servant Leader"
shtick back in 94. Well, when was the last time you heard that from him?

I bought IN to the importance of GOP control over our legislature and our Congress.

What do we have to show for it? Well, here in Clark County, for example, we have a $700 million gas tax bill. Nationally, we have an almost $20 trillion debt.

The fragile nature of the American psyche is due in large part to our
expectation and subsequent failure of those we elect to govern to keep
their word, keep their promises and to make the will of those they would
represent their primary goal in elective office.

Now?

Now we're too stupid. We just don't get it. "Business decisions"
supersede the collective's thought, desires and demands because now?

They have all the answers and they know that when they lie to us, they will not be held accountable.

Just ask Sen. Rivers.

It's difficult for Trump to make the headway he needs because he must
find a way to make the people understand that he will keep his word and
he will do everything he has pledged to do. He also must understand that his support is fragile, even though apparently strengthening, and that he will only get ONE chance.

The moment he becomes a national version of, for example, Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, it will be over for him.

So few in politics actually keep their word. Most at all levels
disregard their primary duty to the people and make their primary duty
their own self-enrichment and self-aggrandizement.

Words of Wisdom

"No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth."

Plato

"This country has shed more blood for the freedom of other people than all the other nations in the history of the world combined, and I'm tired of people feeling like they've got to apologize for America."

“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

George Orwell, the author of 1984

Dr. Martin Luther King

"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom."

Alexis de Tocqueville

"A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example."Niccolo Machiavelli

“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
